Ben Affleck engages in attack on Dubya

Ben Affleck gives as good as he gets. The scorn that critics heaped on his movie "Gigli" is nothing compared to the actor's withering review of President Bush's performance.

"The Bush administration has continued to push a dangerous right-wing agenda which has included increasing encroachments on civil liberties, particularly with the questionable and aggressive use of the Patriot Act," Affleck fumed on Tuesday night when he accepted a Spirit of Liberty award from the People for the American Way, a liberal political action group, in L.A.

Affleck, who came with Jennifer Lopez, was honored for his work on behalf of children's rights and voter registration.

"I accept [the award] in the hope that the absurd amount of publicity I received lately - which, as far as I can tell, is chiefly because I have a pretty fiancée - might be directed at something more significant."
